Eighteen Nepali nationals, who were rescued from war-torn Israel, have arrived in India.
The 18 Nepalis arrived in the southern neighbor through the ‘Operation Ajay’ campaign of the Indian government.
Nepali Ambassador India Dr Shankar Prasad Sharma welcomes the rescued Nepalis at the Delhi Airport. He said that transportation has been arranged for them to go to Nepal.
Taking to social media, he said, “families are excited as they return home during Dashain.”
Earlier, the Nepal government had evacuated 253 Nepali students from Israel after the armed attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on the war-hit West Asian country. They were airlifted by a Nepal Airlines plane.
Ten Nepali students were killed and four others sustained injuries in the attacks by Hamas. One is still unaccounted for.
The Foreign Ministry said that they are searching for missing Bipin Joshi.
The three injured are in the protection of the Tel Aviv-based Nepali Embassy.
The Foreign Ministry said that preparations are being made to repatriate the bodies of Nepali students killed in Israel.
